Frequently asked questions: Pillows
Whether you're out in the bush or nestled in a tent for the night, a good sleep setup makes all the difference. While your sleeping bag gets a lot of credit for keeping you warm, your sleeping mat or mattress is doing just as much heavy lifting. This is where R-values come in. R-value stands for “resistance to heat flow”. It's a measurement of how well a material (in this case, your sleeping mat) insulates you from the cold ground. To put it simply, the higher the R-Value number, the warmer your sleeping mat will be.
Even in a warm sleeping bag, you lose heat through conduction, meaning your body warmth gets sucked into the cold ground below you. A good mat acts like a barrier, keeping warmth where it belongs: with you.
Like most gear choices, there’s a trade-off. Higher R-value mats tend to be heavier and bulkier. If you're going ultralight in the summer, you might get away with a lower R-value. But if you're prioritising warmth or venturing into cold conditions, that extra insulation is absolutely worth the grams.
Pro Tip: If you’re a cold sleeper, or planning to hike or camp in the colder seasons, bump up your R-value a level or two just to be safe.
R-values aren’t just technical specs—they’re your ticket to a better night’s sleep! Understanding how they work helps you build a sleep system that keeps you warm, rested, and ready to hit the trail again the next day.
At BlackWolf, our camping mattresses are designed to provide a thicker and more insulated support system. We have created our camping and hiking mats to ensure you feel supported throughout the night, regardless of location.
Our Mega Deluxe II range has an R-Value of 10.4, the highest in the Australian market, while our Hexatherm range is up to 25% lighter and up to 20% smaller in packed size than previous models. Our meticulously designed, fully supportive mattresses have been individually quality tested for air integrity before shipment, and they’re backed with our 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Below we have our guide to all of our BlackWolf Camping and Hiking mats, to help you compare and make the best decision for your upcoming adventures. If you need help picking the right mat for your adventure, drop us a message — we're always keen to chat gear and get you set up for success!
Washing a Synthetic-Filled Sleeping Bag
Taking care of your synthetic-filled sleeping bag will help it last longer and stay in top condition for all your adventures. Here’s how to wash it properly:
- Hand Washing: You can hand wash your synthetic sleeping bag just like a down bag to keep it in great shape.
- Machine Washing: If you prefer to use a machine, only use a large front-loading washer. Wash on a gentle cycle with a specialist sleeping bag soap or a mild, non-detergent soap.
- Avoid Top Loaders: Never wash your sleeping bag in a top-loading machine with an agitator—this can damage your bag.
- Drying: Air drying is the best way to dry your bag. Synthetic bags dry faster than down and are less fragile when wet, but still take care to support it while it’s damp. Lay it flat to dry, ensuring it keeps its shape.
Always check the care label for specific instructions to keep your sleeping bag in the best possible condition. Following the right steps will ensure it’s ready for your next adventure!
Washing a Down-Filled Sleeping Bag
Proper care of your down-filled sleeping bag will help maintain its performance and longevity, ensuring it stays warm, lofty, and ready for your next adventure. Here’s how to clean it with care:
- Use the Right Soap: Pick up a specialist down cleaner from your local camping store or use a mild, non-detergent soap to keep the down in top shape.
- Timing Matters: Washing your down bag is best done during warm, low-humidity weather, as it will take several days to dry completely.
- Washing Process: Fill your bath or laundry tub with warm water, enough to fully submerge your sleeping bag. Add a small amount of soap, then gently massage the water through the bag. Let it soak for a while. Afterward, drain the water and refill with clean water, massaging it through to rinse out the soap. You’ll need to rinse at least three times until the water runs clear.
- Press & Lift Carefully: Once the rinse water is clear, drain the tub and gently press the bag to squeeze out excess water. Carefully fold the bag into a bundle and lift it out—don’t let any part of the bag hang down, as the wet down is delicate and can damage the baffles that keep the down in place.
- Drying: Lay the bag flat in a warm space and allow it to dry completely. Gently massage the down occasionally to break up any clumps and restore its loft.
Always check the care label for specific instructions to keep your sleeping bag in the best possible condition. Following the right steps will ensure it’s ready for your next adventure!
